<h1>Properties and Formatting dialog box: Flash </h1>
<p class=seealso>You can change the following properties of Grid/Graphs, 
 widgets, and panel stacks using the Flash options in the Properties and 
 Formatting dialog box. &nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: The Flash option is displayed 
 only if Flash Mode is enabled in the document and you select a Grid/Graph, 
 widget, or panel stack. For details about Flash Mode, see 
<a href="Flash_Mode.htm">Working 
 with documents in Flash Mode</a>. </p>
<p>The Flash section includes the following: </p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li style="margin-left: -20px;" class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Widget</B></span>: 
 The properties in this area of the dialog box are available only for Grid/Graphs 
 or selectors. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Selected Widget</B></span>: 
 Determines how Grid/Graphs or selectors are displayed in Flash Mode. </p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs2">
		
<li class=p><p class="whs3">For Grid/Graphs, 
<a 
 href="Widgets.htm">widgets</a> are interactive Flash-only graphs that 
 dynamically update when you select a new set of data to view. Select a 
 widget from the drop-down list to display a Grid/Graph as a specific type 
 of widget when it is viewed in Flash Mode. For example, if you have a 
 Grid/Graph and want to turn it into a heat map widget, select Heat Map 
 Widget from this drop-down list. The Grid/Graph is turned into a Heat 
 Map Widget when it is viewed in Flash Mode. Select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>None</B></span> 
 to display the Grid/Graph normally. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B><br>

		<br>

		Note</B></span>: The Grid/Graph you turn into a widget must follow 
 the data and template requirements for that type of widget. For example, 
 a Gauge widget requires one attribute on its widget template's rows and 
 one attribute on the columns. Therefore, any Grid/Graph you to turn into 
 a Gauge widget must have the same objects on its template. If it does 
 not, the Grid/Graph is not displayed correctly as a widget in Flash Mode. 
 These requirements are detailed in the help topic for each type of widget.</p></li>
		
<li class=p><p>If you right-click a selector instead of a Grid/Graph, 
 you can overwrite the display of the selector with a custom widget selector 
 style that you created. From the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Selected 
 Widget</B></span> drop-down list, choose the widget to use to display the 
 selector. For more information on custom widgets, see the MicroStrategy 
 Developer Library (MSDL) provided with the MicroStrategy SDK. </p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs4">DHTML rendering<span style="font-weight: normal;">: 
 Available only for Grid/Graphs, and only when a widget is selected. Determines 
 how the widget is displayed in Interactive Mode and View Mode in MicroStrategy 
 Web. <br>

	</span><br>

	Note<span style="font-weight: normal;">: The following widgets cannot 
 be rendered in DHTML: Cylinder, Interactive Stacked Graph, Thermometer, 
 and Time Series Slider.<br>

	<br>

	The options are:</span></p></li>
	<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
		
<li class=P-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Same as Widget</B></span>: Displays the Grid/Graph 
 as a widget in Interactive Mode and View Mode. </p></li>
		
<li class=P-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Same as PDF &amp; Excel</B></span>: Displays the 
 widget as specified in the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>PDF &amp; 
 Excel</B></span> setting below.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> <B><br>

		&nbsp;</B></span></p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>PDF &amp; Excel</B></span>: 
 Available only for Grid/Graphs, and only when a widget is selected. Determines 
 how the widget is displayed in PDF View in Desktop and in Editable Mode 
 in MicroStrategy Web, as well as when exported to PDF and Excel. The options 
 are:</p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs2">
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show Grid or Graph</B></span>: 
 Displays the underlying Grid/Graph to which the widget is attached. </p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show Placeholder</B></span>: 
 Displays an empty Grid/Graph placeholder instead of a widget. The container 
 of the Grid/Graph is shown with the border and background formatting. 
 The following message is displayed within the container: &quot;Flash Widgets 
 cannot be rendered in this display.&quot; This message is displayed in 
 View and Interactive Mode only. </p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Hide Grid or Graph</B></span>: 
 Hides the widget and displays nothing. If you want to display a message 
 in place of the widget, add a text field behind the widget. This text 
 field is displayed only when the widget is hidden. For information about 
 adding text fields, see 
<a href="Add_text_data_to_documents.htm">Adding 
 text and data to documents</a>; for information about displaying a text 
 field behind a widget, see 
<a href="Ordering_controls_on_documents.htm">Ordering 
 controls on documents</a>. </p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li style="margin-left: -20px;" class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Transition</B></span>: 
 Determines whether a transition animation is used to display the object 
 when you switch to Flash Mode. The animation also takes place when you 
 or another user chooses an item in a selector that affects an object such 
 as a Grid/Graph. For example, a Grid/Graph may fade slowly onto the screen. 
 This property is available only for Grid/Graphs and panel stacks. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Selected Transition</B></span>: 
 Select a type of transition animation for the object. This is the type 
 of transition animation that will be used for the object when you or other 
 users switch to Flash Mode.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Speed</B></span>: Determine 
 how quickly the transition animation takes place for the object. For example, 
 you can determine how quickly the animation for a panel stack takes place 
 once you switch to Flash Mode. From the drop-down list, select a speed 
 for the transition animation.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>You can also display rounded corners on lines and rectangles. Rounded 
 corners are visible in Flash Mode only. In other display modes, rounded 
 corners display as square, right-angle corners. For steps, see below: 
 </p>
<h2>
<a name="To control the display of rounded corners1"></a>To control 
 the display of rounded corners</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs5">
	
<li class=p><p>Open a document in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design</B></span> 
 or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable Mode</B></span>. &nbsp;</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Right-click the rounded rectangle to format and select 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Properties and Formatting</B></span>.<span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"> <B></B></span>The Properties and Formatting dialog 
 box opens.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>From the left, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Flash</B></span>. 
 </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Use the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Distance</B></span> 
 slider to determine the extent to which a rounded corner is displayed 
 in Flash Mode. To emphasize the rounded corners, move the slider further 
 to the right.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Determine a radius for the corners. The range is 1 - 
 20. A larger radius produces a more rounded corner. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>By default, all four corners are rounded. To round the 
 top corners only, select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Top Corners 
 Only </B></span>check box.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>OK</B></span> to 
 apply the changes.</p></li>
